This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1 · go to the accepted answer.
Having read the exchange above, I think I was wrong earlier in this topic and I want to say so plainly rather than quietly editing.
The correction was fair and I had been repeating something I had not checked carefully enough.
Staff announcements, policy changes, and scheduled maintenance. Read-only except for questions clarifying what was announced.
I read post #151 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.
Questions welcomed: if an announcement is unclear, asking for clarification is welcome. Staff will explain their reasoning.
RSS: if you prefer to receive announcements by feed rather than visiting the site, RSS is available for this subcategory.
Coming back to post #155, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.
Implementation timeline: announcements include when a change takes effect. Marking the date helps you know whether the change is already in effect.
Picking up post #155: that is the part I would want checked first.
Thank you for the correction. I have edited my earlier post with a note rather than silently, so the thread still makes sense to read. The error was mine and it was the kind that comes from remembering a figure instead of looking it up.
Worth separating two things that post #155 runs together.
Staff-only posts: some announcements are visible only to staff (concerning internal operations). Members see public announcements.
Questions welcomed: if an announcement is unclear, asking for clarification is welcome. Staff will explain their reasoning.
Coming back to post #162, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.
Feedback to announcements: if you have feedback on an announced change (not a question, but your position) post it in the Meta category rather than here.
